Postbit_legacy bug

[katie hunter]

Hi,

I am having this bug that i can't figure out how to fix it . For instance here, this post seems fine

http://forum.nihonomaru.com/site-announcement.7/thread/please-welcome-our-two-newest-super-mods-%E2%99%A5.334174/#post5527471

but here there is this huge space before the vbseo like:

What it is is that the longer the left side is, it will cause this issue if the message area is shorter than the left side. Here is what i mean

Have you seen this template edit https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=230859&highlight=postbit

Hi, hmm that is not related to this one, it is related to the custom postbit_legacy.

One thing I did was make the postbit collapsible.


Example:

Well this can work but the issue is many avatars are longer in height than others, that is another issue.

The collapsible postbit is native code re-used from the lower left hand corner "posting rules" bit, and sets a cookie to remember the person's preference.

There is a way to fix it but if i include the signature inside the post like this, but that is not what i am trying to do..

Probably only other way is to restrict the avatar size.

But i want it to ignore the left side, so the post area is not depended on it, i've seen it work but on playstation forum. Not sure if they use vb or not, i don't think so.

But i want it to ignore the left side, so the post area is not depended on itIt's all one template so "dependency" is sort of relative. Might be good if you can link us to a example of what you want, we can then read the source code and get a clue.

Well this was on playstation forum older design, they've changed http://community.us.playstation.com/

But now it seems they include the signature inside the post like i showed it there ^ http://community.us.playstation.com/t5/Off-Topic-Discussions/GTA-Online-OT-Game-nights/m-p/41932517#U41932517

They must have left vBulletin...

[katie hunter]

They never used vb at all.

Honestly, I know it would be a edit of the postbit legacy template, but you also have it customized already so really I am bumping your thread up in hopes a more experienced person who hopefully has solved this before, sees it and chimes in.

I would be interested to know if this phenomenon happens in vB4 default style?

[katie hunter]

I know it is not complicated, it just needs someone who knows how to do it :)

All that needs to happen is that the main post area should not be related to the left side, so that this extra space don't appear.

[Max Taxable]

Yep someone will come along who knows exactly what to do. I would be interested to know if this phenomenon happens in vB4 default style?

[katie hunter]

Well i edited this, removing this line it helped with several posts but not globally clear:both;

.postbitlegacy .after_content {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
clear:both;
}
